Oh the sweetness of love, through the darkness sometimes it lays hidden.
Late at night I sit
The warmth of the breeze softly ruffling my cheek
My hair, my thoughts
Of null, grasping and holding deep.
Inside myself I stay, as I often do
Where no pain or hurt can break through
The sky, so dark, shines down on me
Sending its beauty, yet blind eyes look up above.
Yet there is a star so high,
Breaking through
Beaming its soft rays Blinking, calling out
My name gently within the breeze.
And I know it's you, my love
High above, watching, your hand held out
Distant yet near.
Imagination comes forth
Oh so quickly.
Eyes closed, I softly sigh.
For to go to place of surreal beauty
all I have to do is dream.
Dream of wonder.
Of peace.
Tranquility.
And oh so divine love..
For you see.. Deep within there 'I am your lady'
Your dream come true.
And you, my love, 'You are my Man'.
So it is within the sweetest of dreams
A place where my heart can soar to heights above
Towards the stars so bright that it pains the eyes
Yet oh so gently warms the darkest of hearts.
And I glide..
Gently along its path
To where only you can take me
Where the sunshine breaks through
Even darkness fades slowly away.
In your arms I feel warmth, love.
In your eyes I see heaven, purity.
Fear has no place, doubt, no home
For all fades away with the gentlest of sighs.
Whispers spring out silently
For only my ears to hear
And I cherish.
Softly spoken, they are
And I grasp them, hold them dear.
Within a heart that once felt pain
Broken beyond repair
Till now, my love.
For there is no more darkness
Fear..
Oh how powerful love can be..
Sweet, like honey, dripping, that I take oh so greedily
And hold oh so closely.
I especially love the picture that you chose for this poem, it just makes it even more real to me - even though the feeling you get from the poem is flowy and dreamlike, it all fits together very well. Well done! Beautiful.

There is a gentleness of flow that guides the reading of this exquisite piece; as if you were holding the readers hand and finally culminating in a declaration of unselfish promise! I am reminded of this quote;
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs,
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes,
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears.
What is it else?
A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.
William Shakespeare

Hello to all;
Been awhile since I been on. Most know me, some don't. Hopefully I can get to know the few that don't and catch up with all the other fine fellow poets/friends that have become so.. more..
